'lion to ti»y conduct lit the cabinet vleUberntion
on tho Seiniuole question. Mr. (Jratvl’ord an
swers. S correcting the statements alluded to in
some instances, and confirming And amplifying
in others; which answer he authorizes Mr.
Forsvthi to show me, if he pleased. Of all this,
Mr. Forsyth gives me not rtie slightest intima
tionr thiu^h tn the habit of almost daily inter*
course id the Senate; and instead of showing
mo Mr. Crawford’s letter, is he was authoris
ed t.i do, I hear of it, for the first time, by
having a Copy put into my hand uuder cover
of your \etter of the 13th inst.—a copy with
import ant blanks, and unaccompanied with Mr
F *rMyth’s letter, with its enclosures, to which
Mr Crawford’s is in answer.
Why is this so? Why did not Mr Forsyth
himself show me tho I- tier—the original letter?
lly what authority did ho place a copy in "your
hands? N ne is given by the writer Why is
your name interposed? Was it to bring nie in
to confl cl with the President of the United
States? If the object of the correspondence
between Mr. Crawtord and Mr. Forsyth be to
impeach my conduct, as it would seem to be,
by what rule or justice am I deprived of evi
dence mater il to my defence, and which is in
the hands of mv accusers—of a copy o! Mr
Forsyths letter, with tho enclosures; of a
statement of (he conversation and correspon
dence 0/the two individuals whose names are
in blank in the copy of Mr. Crawford’s letter
furnished me? Why not inform me who they
ao ? Their testimony might he highly impor
tant; and even then names alone might throw
much liaht on this mysterious affair.
[ must be frank. I feel that 1 am deprived
of important rights by (he interposition of your
name, of rvhich-i have just cause to complain.
It deprives me of important advantages, which
would otherwise belong to my position. I5y
t ;e interposition of your name, the communi
cation which would exist between Mr. F »rsyti»
and myself, had he placed Mr. Crawford’s let
ter in my h-icds, as be was authorized to do, is
prevented, and I am thus deprived of the right
winch would have belonged to me in that case,
ami which he could not injustice withhold, of
being placed in possession of all the material
facts and circumstances connected With this af
fair. in thus complaining il is not my inten
tion to attribute to you any design to deprive
rue o! so important an udvantag . 1 know the
extent of your public duties, and how coin
■piitely they engross y--ur attention. They
have not allowed you sufficient time for reflec
tion in tins case, of which evidence *s afforded
by the ground 1 hat you assumo in placing tie
copy of Mr Crawtord’s letter in my hand,
winch you state was submitted by his author
ity. 1 do not so und r.-tand him; the autbori
ty was, as I conceive, to Mr I* -rsyth, and not
to yourself, and applied to the • r-ginal letter,
and net to the copy, both of which, as 1 have
shown, are very impor«ant in ti>i> cas , uid no?
mcr«*. matters ut iortn, l have ask d int: ques
torn, Why is tins niTur brought up at tins late
period, and in ibis remarkable manner? I*
consideration, at least limn inyseU 1
am in ttie li.»h;t of speakmg my sentiment-
•and 1 ,j)i.iio>is freely, and 1 -ee no Cause which
ought to restrain me on the {..escnl occasion. 1
.fehouWi he td*n<l not to sye that this vvliole ah
•fair is a political mat cc-ivre, in wnich the dei
-sign is th-it you should lie the in-Tument,
and tnyscif tho vrttiiii hut in which the real
actors are car,fully concealed by an arttul
movement. A naked copy, with the names
referred to i/i blank, affords slender means ot
detection; while on the contrary, had I been
placed, its I ought to have been, in possess
ion of till the lacs winch I was entitled to be,
but htile penetration would probably have
been required to see through the whole affair.
The names which are in blank unght oi them
solves, through iheir political associations,
point directly to the contrivers of this scheme.
I wish not to be misunder^o >d. I have too
much respect for your character to suppose
. you capable of participating in the slightest
3 degree in a political intrigue. Your character
' is of too high and generous a c-«st to resort to
• such means, either for your own advantage or
. that of others. This the contrivers of the plot
well knew; but they hoped through your gem *
rous attribute-, through your lofty & jealous r -
gard for your character, to excite feeling-
through which they expected to consumate
th ir designs. Several indications forewarned
me, long since, that a blow w as meditated a
guud me; 1 will not say from tho quarter trom
w bich this comes; but in relation to tins subject
piore than two years -ince, I had a corres
pondence with the D.strict Attorney for the
Southern District of New-Y»rk, on the «ub
ject of the proceeoings of the cabinet ott the
Seminole war, which, though it did not then
•excite particular attention, has since, in con-
‘ncxion with other circumstances, served to dr
'reel my eye to what was going on.
Of Mr. Crawford 1 speak with pain, and on
ly in self-defence; hut. that you may more ful
ly realize the spirit, which actuates him, and
how little scrupulous he is of the means that
Iieuses where I .am concerned, l would refer
you for illustration to facts in the possession
, of one who stands to you in the relation ol a
constitution*.! adviser, and who from his cliar-
& actor is entitled to your entire confidence; 1
moan the Postmaster General. No one know
better than yourself how sacred the electoral
college for the choice of President and V ice
President should be considered in our system
of government. Tho electors are the trustees
of the high sovereign power of the people ol
S t ho States, as il relates to the choice of those
magistrates; and on the degree of fidelity witi.
| which the trust may bo discharged depends, in
u great degree, the successful operation of our
system. In order to prevent, as tar as practi
. cable, political intrigue, or the operation 0!
extraneous influence on the choice of the elec
toral college, it is provided that they shall
meet in their respective Slates, and that they
shall vote, throughout tho Union, on the same
day, and be selected within thirty-four days of
the time designated for the election; thus ex
eluding with the greatest care all other mthi
cnce on the choice of the electors except the
will of their constituents; but where the object
was to injure me, the sacred character of th^
college was an insufficient restraint. M-
Crawford wrote to Major Barry, in Octobor,
1828, (a copy of whoso letter he has furnish
«sd ilia at my request,) requesting him earnest
ly to use his influence with* the electors not to
vote for me ns Vice-President, though he
could not be ignorant that 1 find been nomina*
tod for that office, on the preceding 8th Janua
ry, when you.- friends nominated you, in a State
convention, for the big?i 5tnrk«:^ which yon
now hold, and that the electors were pledged
to vote for you as President 1 , and myself as
Vice President. This is not the only instance
of his interference Ila pursued the same
course in Tennessee and Louisiana, as 1 am
informed on the highest authority.
At aft earlier period, he resorted to means
not much less object ionablejlo injure my stand
ing, and to influence, as far as 1 was concern
ed, the election. I am net ignorant of his cor
respondence with that view, and which, I feel
confident, has not escaped your observation —
Bui 1 will not dwell on this disagreeable sub
ject I have no resent merit towards Mr.
CraWford 1 have looked on in silence, with
out resorting to any moans to counteract the
injury which he intended me; and 1 now depart
from the rule which 1 have carefully observed
ever since the termination of the Presidential
election in 1825, because his present attack
comes through a channel my high respect lor
which, would not permit me to be silent 1
have, however, in noticing what i could noi
pass over, situated as I now atft, endeavored to
unfit myself by the line of self-defence, and if
l have apparently gone beyond iu making any
remarks 00 his conduct, which his letter did
not natural y suggest, 'my apology will be
found in tho necessity of showing the state <d
ins feelings toward me, so that the motive
which influenced him in the course which has
caused tins correspondence may be fully un
der stood.

opinion of your honor and frankness, to believe fur one

der the influence of these friendly feelings (which I ul
ways entertained foryou) when 1 was presented with t co

ev r lias, and I hope ever will characterize iny conduct, 1
considered il due lo you, and the friendly relations, whtc*

you and ask if the stalcmen’s contained in that lellcr
could be true? I repeat, I had a rght lo beWvo that you

Mr. Calhoun lo General Jackson.
Steamboat Pot mac, 1st June, 1830.
Sin: Though you intimate in your letter >f yesterday,
that no fuitcer communication with im is necessary on
the subject to which it rcfeis, I ft el myself impelled to no
tice some of your remarks, lest injr silence should be con
strued into all acquiescence in tbeir truth or juslnt ss. 1
shall be as brief .is possible.
You saythi* 1 have entirely mistaken your letter of llie
I3 h May, in supposing that it questioned cither my iuo-
tiva or conduct I am not aw re that I have imputed to
you an impeachment ol uiy motives-—but 1 certainly did
understand that you had questioned the sincerity and
frankness of my conduct; and I must add that your pre
sent letter, notwithstanding the most demonstrative proof
which I had cflared to the contrary, shows clearly that 1
understood you correctly, and of course, was not, us you
suppose, mistaken.
1 have iao doubt that there are those, who actuated by
enmity to n> ’, and not friendship to you, have, itt the most
ui if il manner, for years intimated that I have been se
crctly endeavoring to injure you, however absurd the idea;
but I most express iny surprise that you should have per
uutted insinuations, as base as they are false, to operate on
you, when every word and act of mine gave to them the
lie direct. I fi el conscious that I have honorably and iwi
ly performed towards you every duly that friendship im
posed, and that any imputation to the contrary is wholly
unmerited.
You mistake in supposing that I hake any dispute with
Mr. Crawford. Thai he bears me ill-will is certain; hut
w hatever fueling of u.ikindness I ever bad towards him has
long since passed away: so much so, that instead of re
luming his attacks on m the line of Conduct which
prescribed to myself tvas, to bear patiently ami silently
all that he might door s.y, leaving it to time and truth to
vindicate my conduct. If I have apparently departed
from the rule that l had prescribed in this case, it was not
because there was any disposition on my part to alter tile
line of my conduct; but when you interposed your name.
by placi^ in my hands a copy of his letter, addressed to
Mr. Forsyth, I was compelled, by an act of yours, in or
der font my silence might be interpreted inloau acknowl
edgement of (lie truth of Mr. Crawford’s statement, l(J
correct his misstatements, and to expose Lite motives of
eniniiy which actuated hint, and which sought to use you
as an instrument of gratification.
You intimate foot, at some future time, when you may
Pave more leisure, you will place the subject of this cor
respondence in a different light. 1 wish you lo be assur
ed, 1 feel every confidence, that, whenever you may be dis
posed to controvert ihe correctness of either my statement
or conduct in this affair, I shall be prepared on my part to
maintain the truth of the one, aud frankness, honor, and
patriotism of the other, throughout this whulc transaction
That you honestly thought that your orders authorised
you to do what you did, I have n Ver ques ioned; but that
you can show by arty document, public or private, that they
were intended to give you foe authority which you assum
ed, or ih itduy such construction was pluc-il on them, el
any time, by the administration, or roys JI in particular, 1
believe lo be impossible.
You remark that n»y Idler of the 20th inst. is the first
iiilimutittn you had that 1 had taken a different view from
yourself ofyour orders. That you should conceive that
you had no intimation before, is to me unaccountable. I
hud supposed that the invitation of Mr. Monroe, in his
letter ti> you of the "20th October, *318, with, the intention
that different views taken by you and myself of ff e orders
-Jiould be placed on the files of the Department, and my
letter lo you of the 13th April, 1828, covering a copy of
\y letter to Major Lee, in which I refer to the public doc-
imeats, and private correspondence between you and Mr.
i mrue, as containing the views taken of your orders, and
me offer which 1 undo to preseat rnj views more fully, U'
nff given sufficiently explicit in the documents referred lo,
were at least an intimation that we differed in the construc
tion of the orders; and i feci assured that neither “nty
conduct, word?, actions, or letters,” aflatd the slights!
proof to the contrary. !
The charge which you hare jnade against me, of se-
f.vi hostility and opposition, Which, if true^wuufei so vi
tally affect My Character far sindMUj. aluj h'diior, and
which has caused a rupture id trJ Ioo S continu'S fri«nu-
ship. has ho oiheffomraatiwti but that tn A difference be
tween us in the cunstrueiioo of yonr orders—order* issu
ed by myself, the intention of which I, of course, could
not mistake, whatever may be-their true construction.In a
military point of view, and the right.and duty uf interpre
ting which belonged especially U» me, as the head of the
War Department. The merq rtaterinbit of these fart*
must give rise to a train of reflections,' the efcpression'of
which I cannot suppress >' ’.
Your course, as 1 understand it, assumes for its basis
that I, who, as Secretary of War* issued the orders, have
some motive to eonceal my construction of them, as if I
had no right to form an opinion v h« ther the officers to
whom they were given had transcended them or not, while
the officer was at perfect liberty to express and maintain
his construction. My rigid, as Secretary of War, was at
least as perfect as yours, as commanding officer, to judge
of ihe true intents and limits of your orders;, and 1 had no
moremotivetoconcc.il my construction of them'ban you
had to conceal yours. The idea of concealment. neVtr
entered my conception; and to suppose it, i.« to suppose
that I was utterly unw orlhy of the office which I occupied
W’hy should-I conceal? 1 owed no rcsporsibiiiiy to you;
and if you were not afraid to place your constructing on
your ordi-rs, wby should I he afraid lo place mini? It
was an affair of mere official duty, involving no question
of private enmity or :iivmlship, and I so treated il.
In conclusion I must remark, that I had supposed that
the want of siuceti'y and fiar.kiKss would hr Hie I ist
charge that ivoul be brought against me. Coming from
a q Mirier irotn which I hud reason to expect far different
treatment, and destitute, as 1 know il to lie, of the slight-
cst foundation, i' could not fail to excite fo» lings too warm
to be expressed, with a uue regard to the < fife ul relation
iviiicb I bear to you
1 hive the h »ao.* to be, very, reipectfully, your m st

cessary. Gen. Jackson mistakes the Carolina it character,
if he believes that acts like litis will uot arouse a spirit
that will crush him and his myrtnid .ns. South Carolina
placed him where he is, and her generous son* have re
fused to take office at lus hands, lest it imiriit be conatru-
ed into compensation for s.rviee* rendered to their court
try—as they thought. They are not now to be coerced by
life power—nor will they tear tobe menaced and denounc
ed long r man they can with becoming dignity smile at
bis imbecHe threats, and treat bis proscriptions with con-
..a seom. fal. 4,1831.

To lead * step iu Fuiiun* *s dunce!

And how ihe fiir one’s eye would shine,
To teli her lad— this pr z- is min !
’T'vould buy a husband—buy a wife;
And hoist them up to lead high life!
Unbend the brow of withering care,
And make u most enraptured pair.
Come, bonny lass! come, laddy, come.
And try your luck at “Fortune’s borne.”
Come ye, on whom d ine fortune siniics,
Come, and increase your golden piles.
Come ye, who, fur your blooming daughter.
Would gain a beau of ihe first water.
Come ye, wbiq for your dashing son.
Would g.iii a belle who leads the ton!—
Come ye, whos minds have been dUu&ctcd
By debts of honor long contracted—
Ye honest farmers, whose plantation
liiroans’nealh the Tariff of the Nation,—
L-t Webster spout—let Harry Clay
Make '"Dinntr Speeches”«verv day—
Lei the Cuief lustice send citation,
Td sate Uie Hogues in the Creek Nation.
Y iu need net tear what they can do,
When the ten thousand falls lo you.
Then you can boldly come, and plank
The casb down at the Central Bank.
You iiien can pay ihe per cent fifty
To the State it i.k— tu ii suit bi thrifty.
Ten thousand! dtd 1 Say?—There’s Fifteen!
’Twouiii make an old maid turn to sixteen!
Fifteen, indeed! — Why, Sir,—there’* Thikti!
’’iVouitl make a inaiom young at forty!—
Make the old bachelor, young and sporting,
And set the dry old dog a courting!!
lean’ sing evi-ry change that rises
From thirty thousand dollar prizes!
How would ihe crowd all gape and stare,
While thousand voices rena the air—
Torighi und left—lei my friend come,
He’s just returned iVom “Fortune’s home ’—
If you would thus increase your horde,
Gv—buy a pr>ie from Wyatt F*>arD—
“Crack go..a tin* whip— rouiiu go the wheels”—
How glorious giaii the younktr feels,
Whil*. poor old earth lies trembling under
His tandem huggic, drove like thunder!
Cotrte, fair young ladies, do you grieve
For forty yards to cut a -.|< eve?

To buy new tufas—carpets—chairs—

Advance tuy children—please my wife!—

Ami make all nature snide before me—
D oes fortune smile—she’ll smile more gay,
Strewing Ircsh roses in iny way.
Thirty I once have gained for TEH,

To help the poor, oppressed, and needy.
Aud though the Yorkers jeer and sceff,
’Causu Morgan one.; wus carried off—
And Sot’rtion Saulhveick makes a sputter,
To gain a little bread and butter—
They in ay as well hang Ring and Rovrsti%
Because the Marshall killed old Voider!
C<>uie one—conie all!—Increase youir horde
By a lucky ticket from Wyatt Foard;
And if you do not live in town
Just send st fetter up or doum—
The Lottery's hottest—you shall know It—
If you will only turn—a poet—
There’s young Bob Foster, of Forsyth,
Youthful, and fortunate, and blithe—
Turned to a poet in a trice—
Sent rhyme—and cash—and—drew a prise!
Try il—perhaps you may do better—
Send your ten dollars in a letter—
And if your Muse should be in slumbers.
And you Cannot indite ih numbers—
Take my advice, and —tints will show it—

* Write one!— write all!!—Increase your horde
